Baume & Mercier Genève Chronograph Ref. 3916 – A Rosé Gold Classic of 1950s Complication

A masterclass in mid-century chronograph design, the Baume & Mercier Genève Ref. 3916 stands as a testament to the brand’s heritage of elegance and horological precision. Housed in a generous 37.5mm oversized case crafted entirely from 18k rosé gold, this timepiece pairs mechanical ingenuity with aesthetic warmth. It’s a watch that captures the romantic spirit of post-war watchmaking, where utility and grace coexisted effortlessly.

18k Rosé Gold Case – Oversized and Refined

Measuring 37.5mm across—a significant diameter for its era—the 18k rosé gold case delivers a powerful wrist presence while retaining balanced proportions. The soft gleam of the gold contrasts with the warm patina of time, highlighting a case design that remains compelling decades after its creation.

Framing the dial is a high-domed plexiglass crystal, original to the watch, which subtly distorts light at its edges—a nostalgic nod to vintage charm. The crown, plated in matching rosé gold, remains period-correct and complements the pump-style chronograph pushers that flank it. Recently serviced by a professional watchmaker, the case retains excellent definition and integrity, backed by a full one-year mechanical warranty.

Telémètre Dial – Precision Meets Poetry

At the heart of the watch lies a stunning multi-scale dial, untouched and original, displaying a light, even patina that speaks to its honest vintage provenance. The layout is a visual feast for enthusiasts: a red télémetre scale encircles the perimeter, designed to calculate distance based on the speed of sound, while a rare snail-style tachymeter scale spirals at the center—a beautifully complex addition used for measuring average speeds over time.

The sub-dials, delicately sunken, remain crisp and proportional. The rosé gold-plated chronograph hand adds a final flourish of color and vintage authenticity. This is a dial that rewards close inspection, where each element reveals the thoughtful craftsmanship of 1950s Swiss watchmaking.

Calibre Landeron 48 – Workhorse with Character

Beating inside is the manual-wind Calibre Landeron 48, a robust and historically significant chronograph movement favored by many high-end manufacturers of the era. Known for its reliable column-pusher system and smooth action, the Landeron 48 offers tactile satisfaction with each reset and precise registration of elapsed time.

Fully serviced and adjusted, this example runs beautifully, delivering performance you can feel in every push of the pusher. The movement's strong architecture ensures it will serve as a reliable daily companion—or a treasured centerpiece in a growing collection.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
